Following ​‘Estradas’ recognition as one of 2024’s best music by Pitchfork, The Wire, Resident Advisor, Artforum, Bandcamp, and many more, ​‘Estradas (Versions)’ invites a diverse lineup of producers to deconstruct and reimagine the raw percussive language initially crafted by Magaletti and Nídia. Where the original Estradas channeled their distinct rhythmic sensibilities into a bold sonic statement, this collection pushes those ideas further–opening the material to radical transformation across tempo, genre, and mood.

DJ Anderson do Paraíso opens with a slow-burning, hallucinatory take on ​“Andiamo.” Mexico-based Rosa Pistola and Freebot inject ​“Rapido” with raw, syncopated Latin heat. DJ Plead strips ​“Sicilia” down to polyrhythmic tension, while BADSISTA’s ​“Mata” hits hard with slicing synths and bass-heavy pressure. FAUZIA brings her signature emotional speed to ​“Nasty,” and SHERELLE turns ​“Estradas” into a breakbeat storm. Yu Su softens that same track into a fluid, atmospheric drift. Fergus Jones reshapes ​“No Promises” into hypnotic rhythmic terrain. Kelman Duran stretches ​“Ta A Bater Ya” into echoing shadows, while Charif Megarbane and his Cosmic Analog Ensemble reimagine it with lush, cinematic textures.
